Pastor Breaks Unofficial World Record by Preaching for 96 Hours: ‘Jesus Is Worthy’
A Baptist pastor with a deep thirst for the Bible has reportedly broken an unofficial record by preaching for 96 hours at his church in Jones County, Mississippi.
Pastor Matt Olson of First Baptist Church of Sharon recently preached through the entire Bible from the book of Genesis to Revelation over a four-day period, Fox News reported Sunday.
“Jesus is Lord. He is worthy of every sentence I preached, every sacrifice that was made, and every step of obedience that has been taken since,” Olson told the outlet, noting it was all about proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The pastor and his team used the Guinness World Record format, and WDAM reported June 1 that Olson took minimal breaks during the preaching marathon.
Video footage from Protestia showed Olson’s concluding statement when he declared, “Jesus is worthy.” The congregation then gave him a standing ovation:
